G'day AuRanger

The GPX5000 comes standard with the 11" Commander mono coil and the 11" DD coil. The 11" Commander is a very good coil and equal in performance to the 14x9 Blitx coil.

This detector was coming with the 15"x12" commander mono as well as part of the deal not sure if it still does.

If your new to detecting then the 11" commander mono coil is an excellent coil for starting out and for you to keep using later on as well. It is handy to have a variety of coil sizes and shapes as well.
